Asian Art Museum’s $10 Thursday Nights (SF)

Enjoy a unique artists drawing club at the Asian Art Museum on Thursday, May 26th.

This performance/exhibition action re-imagines the work of Korean video art pioneer and fluxus key figure Nam June Paik through interpretations of his work by Bay Area artists Kota Ezawa, Minji Sohn, Anne McGuire, Cliff Hengst and Arash Fayez.

Ezawa was a student in Paik’s video class at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in the mid-nineties and was invited as a speaker at Paik’s 85th anniversary party at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in 2012. While Ezawa re-creates two of Paik’s video sculptures, Sohn, McGuire, Hengst and Fayez produce “cover versions” of Paik’s performance work.

Directly or indirectly, the work of each of the artists participating in this event connects to the oeuvre of Paik, through myriad associations such as national origin, materiality or level of subversiveness.
